The European tradition puts far more emphasis on the lawyer's independence and this ruling reflects a belief, fair or not, that employee lawyers just don't have the requisite independence. Of course, it's a major affront to the professional dignity of in-house counsel and it's possible that the ruling will lead to less compliance with law at the margins. (Although how we'd ever measure that is beyond me.)
